A wider tyre does not necessarily mean more contact with the road. A wider tyre might have a wider contact patch, but with the same weight over it you reduce the contact patch front to back. The total area in contact with the road won't necessarily be more. A wider tyre will also be more susceptible to aquaplaning.
In reality, a 205 tyre won't necessarily be wider than a 195 tyre anyway depending on it's design. My 195 R888 tyres are at least as wide as my 205 Eagle F1's, as they have a squarer shoulder design. I'd go with a premium tyre in whatever size is cheapest and gives you the best choice of tyres.
